SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB) today announced Chicago club
Sound-Bar will boast the first Dolby Atmos® music entertainment
experience in a club in the United States. The Dolby Atmos residency at
Sound-Bar will launch on July 29, 2017 with Solarstone - producer,
composer and DJ Richard Mowatt.

“By
partnering to bring Dolby Atmos to our space, our guests are going to be
part of music history in the US.”

“Dolby Atmos gives artists the ability to create multi-dimensional
soundscapes that deliver an electrifying experience to club goers,” said
Bob Borchers, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Dolby
Laboratories. “We’re excited to bring this spectacular experience to
music fans in Chicago.”

“With Dolby Atmos technology, I can push the boundaries of what's
technologically possible in delivering my music, providing my fans with
a show that will completely immerse them from all angles in the venue,”
said Richard Mowatt, Solarstone.

“At Sound-Bar, we’ve always been proud to host some of the most dynamic
dance music artists in Chicago,” said Haider Rizvi, Sound-Bar. “By
partnering to bring Dolby Atmos to our space, our guests are going to be
part of music history in the US.”

In collaboration with Sound-Bar, Dolby will be outfitting the venue with
overhead speakers and Dolby Atmos processing technology. With
over 30 speakers, 22 channels and a bespoke lighting environment that
takes advantage of Dolby Atmos to move in sync with the music, this
installation is one of the biggest innovations in club sound to date.
This technology allows music to be mixed in a third dimension and
provides artists with the ability to unleash sound never heard before.

In January of 2016, Dolby launched the first Dolby Atmos residency at
the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London with Hospital Records, the
first in a lineup of top electronic artists who continue to transform
their music into a multidimensional, immersive sound experience with
Dolby Atmos.
